A new contender has entered the streaming boxing ring. The Walt Disney Company launched its much anticipated Disney+ (also spelled DisneyPlus)<\/a> streaming service Nov. 12.<\/p>\n

The new streaming service is now in competition with AppleTV+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, HBO Max; and smaller competitors such as CBS All Access, Shudder and Acorn TV. According to CNET<\/a>, Disney+ users will have access to over 500 movies and 7,500 episodes from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, ESPN and National Geographic.

\nThe much anticipated streaming service\u2019s popularity rose quickly on various social media platforms. Many social media users debated purchasing the service after seeing the shows being featured. Photos from <\/em>Adam Brown Social Media Command Center Social Media Studio<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The #DisneyPlus hashtag skyrocketed from 24,348 mentions to 229,454 in just one day. The total post volume was 314,000 with 313,500 mentions from Twitter. The countries included: 57.1 percent of mentions from the U.S., 28.7 percent from Unknown, 3.5 percent from Canada and 2.1 percent from the U.K.<\/p>\n

Continuation of The MCU<\/strong>
\nA few prominent movie titles included on the service are: \u201cIron Man,\u201d \u201cCaptain America: The Winter Soldier,\u201d \u201cCaptain Marvel,\u201d \u201cAvengers: Endgame,\u201d \u201cAttack of the Clones,\u201d \u201cRevenge of the Sith.\u201d (Sorry, only the first two trilogies of Star Wars are available.)<\/p>\n

However, Disney+ will be a new platform for original content and a continuation of Stars Wars and Marvel universes. For Marvel, \u201cThe Falcon and The Winter Soldier\u201d (starring Anthony Mackie\u2019s Sam Wilson\/Falcon and Sebastian Stan\u2019s Bucky Barnes\/Winter Solider) will be the first MCU show to air. It takes place after Capitan Americans passes over his shield to Wilson at the end of the Phase Three.<\/p>\n

Then \u201cWandaVision\u201d and \u201cLoki\u201d will launch in 2021. The former will focus on Elizabeth Olsen\u2019s Wanda Maximoff\/Scarlet Witch living in a 1950s suburbia<\/a> with Paul Bettany\u2019s Vision (who died in \u201cAvengers: Infinity War,\u201d but somehow survived). The latter will starring Tom Hiddleston\u2019s Loki (God of Mischief, Thor\u2019s brother and fan favorite villain), which, focuses on Loki\u2019s (WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!) journey after his past character in steals the tesseract in the time heist during \u201cThe Avengers: Endgame.\u201d SYFY Wire<\/a> reported both shows will be connected to the 2016\u2019s \u201cDoctor Strange\u201d sequel called \u201cDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,\u201d\u00a0which will be released 2021.<\/p>\n

According to a Forbes<\/a> article, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, stated, \u201cIf you want to understand everything in future Marvel movies, he says, you\u2019ll probably need a Disney+ subscription, because events from the new shows will factor into forthcoming films such as \u2018Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, it looks like MCU fans will need to dig in their pockets for this one.<\/p>\n

Star Wars Universe
\n<\/strong>Next month may be a bittersweet month for Star Wars fans. The final film for the Star Wars Skywalker trilogy will come to a close on Dec. 20, 2019. However, Disney+ launched \u201cThe Mandalorian\u201d (2019) directed by Jon Favreau (\u201cIron Man\u201d and \u201cSpiderman: Far From Home\u201d) and starring Pedro Pascal (\u201cGame of Thrones\u201d). The eight episode<\/a> show is framed as a Western, which follows the story between the prequel Stars Wars Trilogy and the current one. According to Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, the show has a 85 percent critics score and a 92 percent audience score.<\/p>\n

\nPeople who used the hashtag \u00a0#DisneyPlus were in a frenzy over the 90s and early 2000s shows Disney is featuring on the streaming service. The overall sentiment score was 73.9 percent positive. Photos from <\/em>Adam Brown Social Media Command Center Social Media Studio<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

One the day DisneyPlus launched, many users were excited for classic cartoons and other shows that reminded them of their childhood. Old Disney shows such as \u201cLizzie McGuire,\u201d \u201cDarkwing Duck,\u201d \u201cGargoyles,\u201d \u201cKim Possible,\u201d \u201cDucktales,\u201d \u201cX-Men\u201d and \u201cEven Stevens\u201d were trending on Twitter. Compared to their other competitors such as AppleTV+ or Netflix, Disney is pulling at established audiences heartstrings to gain momentum.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco Chronicle<\/a> cited Disney is known for appealing to all ages by \u201cmonetizing nostalgia.\u201d Based on the shows being aired, the company is aiming for millennials who crave reliving their childhood and some form of escapism. CNN<\/a> included a survey which found \u201c36 percent of 18- to 29-year-olds said they were likely to subscribe to the new Disney streaming service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Disney fans have two payment options: 1.) pay $6.99\/month for Disney+ or 2.) $12.99\/month for Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+. For those who are skeptical about the streaming service, there is a 7-day trial period for the first option.<\/p>\n

So, will DisneyPlus be the new reigning champion in streaming services? Only time will tell, but it looks like they are off to a good start.<\/p>\n
